@amandab, thank you so much!

@paris824, yes, I had it for the full 5years. I got it right after I had my son, who is 7 now. I had the 2nd one for 2 years.

@amandab, did you keep it for the full 5 years the first time around?

@paris824, forgot to tag you

Some people have bleeding and some don't.I had cramping after I got it removed and bled for a month straight though. I loved not having a period.lol It makes your period super light and way shorter. It was like I was just spotting for like 2-3 days. Then they went away. I'm thinking about getting the mirena again after I have my baby in June.

@amandab, maybe I'm bleeding because I literally just got off my period. But I did cramp a little after it was put in. I so hope my period goes away lol

@paris824, I didn't get any cramping or bleeding after getting in. My periods were very light to where I only had to use a panty liner and then fully disappeared after about 6 months.

@amandab, did you cramp and bleed when you first got it in? If so for how long? How long did it take for you not to have periods?

@wisconsinmom, I just got mine put in today. So I'm curious and want to hear other people's opinions.

I've had it twice and loved it!! It is VERY effective and my periods completely went away. The second one was hitting me a little because it wasn't up far enough forso I decided to get it removed. I ended up pregnant 2 months after getting removed and going on the pill.

it's not for everyone though.. I've heard some horror stories

since November. I got it at my 6 weeks appointment. it hurt to get it put in. all I had was a little cramping and then light bleeding. now I don't get my periods and no cramps!

How long have you had it?

Yes! I love it so much.
